Abstract
The present disclosure relates to nuclear magnetic resonance systems used for a non-invasive measurement of tissue in a patient. The non-invasive measurement may be conducted using a unilateral magnet.
Claims20
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) apparatus for elastography using a constant magnetic field gradient, comprising:
- a magnetic assembly configured to generate a constant magnetic field gradient within a sample;
- a radiofrequency (RF) coil assembly configured to emit RF signals into the sample and receive NMR signals from the sample;
- a data acquisition unit connected to the RF coil assembly and configured to acquire NMR signals from the sample during elastography measurement;
- a processing unit connected to the data acquisition unit and configured to process the acquired NMR signals to generate elastography data based on the constant magnetic field gradient;
- and
- a display unit connected to the processing unit and configured to display generated elastography results.
